Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Orsetto reads like a love letter to the Italian peninsula — Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto all represented, which makes sense given the kitchen's focus. It's not a sprawling cellar, but it's coherent and intentional, which is more than you can say for most spots in a ski town where the house Cabernet usually does 80% of the heavy lifting.
The list runs 50-90 bottles and stays decisively Italian, which we respect. You've got Super Tuscans for the big-spenders, Amarone della Valpolicella for anyone who wants to feel like they're dining in Verona, Barbera d'Asti for the crowd that actually knows Piedmont, and a Vernaccia di San Gimignano holding down the white wine side with some regional credibility. The gaps show up when you look for depth — this isn't a list with multiple producers per appellation or any real exploration of southern Italy or the islands. It's the greatest hits package, competently assembled.
With 8-14 pours available by the glass, there's enough rotation to keep things interesting across a meal. Don't expect anything too adventurous — the BTG program leans toward crowd-accessible Italian styles rather than anything that'll make you put your fork down in disbelief. Solid, predictable, and fine for what the room demands.
Barbera d'Asti — null
Barbera is criminally underrated in American restaurants, and if Orsetto has priced it honestly against the Super Tuscans on the same list, it's your move. More acid, more food-friendliness, and none of the prestige markup — order it with the housemade pasta and don't look back.
Vernaccia di San Gimignano
Everyone at the table is going to order red, which means this Tuscan white is just sitting there waiting. Vernaccia has enough structure and mineral edge to hold its own against the pasta and the branzino — it's not a delicate sipping wine, it's a food wine, and most people walk right past it.
Super Tuscans
Super Tuscans are the most aggressively marked-up category on Italian restaurant lists in the US, and a Jackson Hole tourist-adjacent dining room isn't going to be the exception. You're paying for the name recognition more than what's in the glass. The money is better spent elsewhere on this list.
Amarone della Valpolicella + Housemade pasta
Amarone is dense, dried-grape-concentrated, and built for slow food. Rich pasta — something with a braised meat ragu or aged cheese — meets its match here. It's a big commitment for a Tuesday, but that's why you're in Jackson Hole.
The Bottom Line
Orsetto isn't a destination wine list, but it's a thoughtful, Italy-focused program that earns its place in a town where the default is mediocre. Skip the Super Tuscans, trust the Barbera, and let the Vernaccia surprise you.
South Jackson · Jackson Hole · Burgers, Bar & Grill
This is a short bar list that fits a burger bar: 10 pours, $9 to $15, no bottle prices posted. Order the $9 Ercole Barbera with a burger, or spend $13 on the Pradorey Tempranillo for something less expected. This unrated guide covers the posted by-the-glass list, not service, storage or markups, and the page is undated, so confirm what is pouring.
Teton Village · Jackson Hole · Pan-Asian small plates and contemporary bar fare
A short hotel-lounge list where every still wine is priced at 6 oz, 9 oz and the bottle. Start with the $19 Tentadora Malbec or the $15 Dr. Loosen Riesling by the 6 oz glass, and confirm today's prices because the page is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Moose · Jackson Hole · Western / American
A seven-wine list with one price for everything: $11 a glass, $25 a bottle. Order the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc with the Pulled Pork Sandwich, and take bottles if there are three or more of you. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown Jackson · Jackson Hole · Modern Mexican / Taqueria
A five-wine list sitting beside a tequila and mezcal menu the restaurant is proud of. If you want wine with dinner, the Los Vascos Cabernet at 10 | 36 is the lowest-priced pair and the Elouan Pinot Noir at 13 | 48 is the other red, but confirm what the two numbers mean and check current availability since the menu image was linked as June 2025. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Wilson / Westbank · Jackson Hole · Italian-American
A one-page list with an Italian-red group of 22 bottles and 14 glass entries, judged only on what is posted. Order the La Farra Prosecco at 8 | 32 with a pizza, or the 38 Diego Conterno Dolcetto for a bottle, and ask which number is the glass price. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Wilson · Jackson Hole · Japanese / Sushi
Start with the $16 Ca' Vittoria Prosecco, or the $17 Pascal Biotteau Anjou Blanc if you want a white by the glass. If you book the omakase, the restaurant says a wine or sake pairing is an additional $50 for four 3 oz pours. Confirm current availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted list, not service, storage or retail markups.
· Ogden · Italian
La Ferrovia is the kind of neighborhood Italian that Ogden is lucky to have — solid food, easygoing atmosphere, and a wine program that seems content to stay in its lane. We'd love to get eyes on an actual list before making a stronger call, so check their website or call ahead if wine is a priority for your visit. Good enough for a weeknight dinner with a carafe of something red; not the destination if wine is the main event.

· Laredo · Italian
If wine matters to you at dinner, Laredo has better options than this. Olive Garden's wine program is a corporate formality — two labels do not a wine list make. Order the cocktail, enjoy the breadsticks, and save the bottle for somewhere that earned it.

Las Colinas · Irving · Italian
Italian Cafe is a reliable neighborhood option for a low-key dinner with wine that won't embarrass itself alongside the food. The wine program isn't the reason to come here — the lakeside atmosphere and comfort Italian cooking are — but it should hold its own for a casual weeknight out. If you're a serious wine drinker, temper expectations; if you just want something decent in the glass with your lobster ravioli, you'll be fine.
